My story

Real dad. Full plate. Building anyway.

I'm not an engineer, and I don't have a team. I'm a stay-at-home dad with two little kids and the same 24 hours you have. What I do have is a way of working: point AI at a clear idea, bring the taste and the testing myself, and ship in the 30-minute windows most people scroll through. This is the honest version of how that's gone.

Built in the margins
Early mornings, nap times, the quiet after bedtime. 30-minute windows are all I get — AI is what makes them count.
Not technical? Neither am I
followrs.store is entirely vibe-coded — AI writes the code, I bring the taste, the testing, and the version control.
Discipline over hype
Tiny commits, small releases, show up daily. The boring habits are the actual cheat code.

The journey

How it's gone so far

The decision

Stopped watching, started building

I'd spent months reading build-in-public threads. No CS degree, no team — I decided to become one of the people actually shipping.

First build

Let AI write the code

AI handled the code; I brought the product taste, smart testing, and version control. Turns out you can ship without being an engineer.

Launch

followrs.store goes live

My first real product — designed, built, and shipped entirely solo, in 30-minute windows around naps, school runs, and bedtime.

Building in public

0 → 4,500+ on Threads

Started posting the honest journey. Six months later, a 4,500-strong community of people building the same way.

It's working

Small, real, and growing

Four months in: 140+ users, $130+ MRR, 100+ on the email list. Proof that the margins add up.

What I'm building

One real product, shipped solo.

followrs.storeSince Jan ’26

My first real product — dreamed up, designed, and shipped entirely on my own. No engineering background, no co-founder. Just AI, a clear idea, and the discipline to build it 30 minutes at a time.

Full-time dad. Two little kids. The same 24 hours you've got. If I can build this in the margins — you can too.
